Baltimore files legal claim against owner and operator of Dali cargo ship that rammed bridge

Lawyers for the city argue the Dali's owner failed to repair known power problems before the collision.The Dali, a 213-million-pound ship carrying cargo containers, is owned by Grace Ocean Private Limited and managed by Synergy Marine PTE LTD.

"The Dali slammed into the bridge, causing the bridge's immediate collapse, killing at least six individuals, destroying Baltimore property, and bringing the region's primary economic engine to a grinding halt," the document said.

Earlier this month, Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine filed a petition in federal court asking for a $43.6 million limit on potential liability payouts. Darrell Wilson, a representative for Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine, told CNN late Monday that "out of respect for the ongoing investigations and any future legal proceedings, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
